ups & downs of trying to be healthier

and the numbers are in…

Yesterday when I was updating my “health” calendar (that’s the most appropriate name I can give it), I looked back at numbers from the beginning of the year. I’m very happy to see that my healthier lifestyle has changed the way I look. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t like to look good?! But that’s not the reason behind my lifestyle. Anyways, here are some numbers.

This feels like a HUGE accomplishment! It is nice to know what I really should look like. By that I mean I should look like this because I’m eating “right” and exercising at least the recommended length of time pretty much every day (I think you’re supposed to exercise about 60 minutes a day, but I could be making up that statistic). And what makes it even better is that I didn’t cut corners anywhere. I didn’t use any weird workout program or meal plan, replacement or even a supplement. Never would I have thought I could look so different and do it in a completely natural way!

And in a great mood, I leave you. Hopefully I can fit my head through the doorway…

me…healthier

2012: The beginning of my journey to be healthier.
2013: My personal peak of fitness and health. Proudest moments being the two half-marathons I ran.
2014: Pregnant with first baby, gained 40 pounds. But Madilyn was totally worth it
2015: Varying efforts to try to get my butt back in shape.
2016: Really struggled with food, but also activity level, due to a molar pregnancy and a separate miscarriage. Heaviest I've ever been, even more than before I originally started my healthy lifestyle.
September 2016-present: Pregnant again and so far, so good.
